Okay, it is very true that we are federal welfare whores but let us develop ANWR. Imagine if the people in Iowa were suddenly told that they couldn’t farm on the most arable land in the state because the federal gov’t decided it should be a wildlife preserve. It’s the same thing for us. People hear the words Wildlife Reserve and they picture caribou prancing through the woods. ANWR is like a moonscape over most of it. The initial pipeline didn’t destroy the natural beauty of the state and neither will this. The drill area itself would be about as big as an airport in the middle of an area bigger than some states. And BTW, until you stop driving and using any petroleum product please spare me the global warming lectures.

‘We’ may be destroying their state, but not as fast as they want. I believe it’s Alaskans who want to drill in ANWR so badly. So…THEY are choosing money from oil companies over maintaining their beautiful state and we are paying them extra for the priviledge of giving them what they want. Doesn’t seem fair to me.

In terms of the Federal funding for Alaska, I like to think of it this way. It’s a beautiful state that is being molested for the sake of oil and gas. From a Federal perspective, we’re paying them off for destroying their state.
